Award in Berlin
“Terminator” now Dr. h.c. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Before Arnold Schwarzenegger's visit to the BMW Group plant in Steyr on Tuesday, the "Terminator" quickly collected an honorary doctorate in Berlin.
The private Hertie School awarded him the title in recognition of his fight for climate protection and his commitment to civil society. German Vice-Chancellor and Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) praised the 77-year-old as an extraordinary person and politician and called him a role model for all of humanity.
Personality with character
Schwarzenegger is a person of character and stands for decency and the ability to compromise. As a politician, he had been guided by what was right and necessary, not by ideological guidelines, for example in his commitment to renewable energies as Governor of the US state of California. Schwarzenegger thanked the packed auditorium of the university in Berlin-Mitte for the honorary doctorate. He emphasized that what makes him happiest is not having been a successful bodybuilder and Hollywood star or having earned millions, but being able to give something back to others.
Being of use
Being of use is his concern. And he wanted to share another life lesson: "Don't listen to the naysayers." If you want to achieve something, don't let them impress you.
"Mr. Universe"
Schwarzenegger was born in Styria in 1947 and grew up in poor circumstances. He became "Mr. Universe" at the age of 20 and then made a career as a bodybuilder in the USA. As an actor with an accent and an unpronounceable name, he became an action star ("Conan the Barbarian"). Schwarzenegger achieved cult status with his starring role as "Terminator" (1984) in the science fiction film of the same name, but also appeared in comedies such as "Kindergarten Cop". He was Governor of California from 2003 to 2011. He has long been involved in the fight against climate change.
